Plaintiff, v. OPINION AND ORDER

STATE OF NEW JERSEY ATTORNEY’S OFFICE, et al.

Defendants.

CECCHI, District Judge. This matter comes before the Court on pro se Plaintiff Amanda Dawn Dowling’s application to proceed in forma pauperis (“IFP”) pursuant to

(ECF No. 2) with respect to her Complaint (ECF No. 1) against the State of New Jersey Attorney’s Office, United States Attorney’s Office, the Hudson County District Attorney’s Office, the Bergen County District Attorney’s Office, and the North Arlington Police Department. For the reasons set forth below, Plaintiff’s IFP application is hereby denied. WHEREAS District courts will “deny IFP applications if paying the filing fees would not deprive a litigant of the ‘necessities of life.’” Jalil v. Attorney G., No. 24-1055,

, at *1 (D.N.J. Mar. 19, 2024) (citation omitted). Plaintiff’s IFP application indicates that she has a monthly income of at least $14,000 and has additional assets worth $4,000. ECF No. 2 at 1–3. Her monthly expenses are approximately $3,200.

. Because Plaintiff has failed to show that she is unable to pay the filing fee, the Court will deny her IFP application. See Jalil,

, at *1. Accordingly, IT IS on this 21st day of August, 2025 ORDERED that Plaintiff’s IFP application (ECF No. 2) is DENIED; and it is further ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court shall ADMINISTRATIVELY TERMINATE this matter; and it is further ORDERED that Plaintiff may have this matter reopened, if, within thirty (30) days of this Order, Plaintiff pays the filing fee; and it is further

ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court shall reopen this matter upon receipt of the filing fee from Plaintiff; and it is further ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court shall send a copy of this Order to Plaintiff by regular U.S. mail. SO ORDERED.
